Tandem is far and away the better option on the road, as for in field it depends on how you spec them, what tyres would you be fitting if going tandem?Wonder should I buy tandem axel 3000g Vacum tanker or more standard 2500g , we do slit of road work and I thought tandem would be a lot more stable at 50kph, either would be fitted with dribble bar... Would tandem be better or worse on land ??
You wouldn't be wanting a tandem without a steering axle. If moneys no object though something like this perhaps?Tandem on 710 tyres, youll have double the braking capacity if you intend doing 50kmh. Might as well throw in a steering axle too if money is no object.
Single axle is fine if driven sensibly, although 2600 majors are a lot less stable than the 2400sBought a 2600 lgp major did one load and sold it,it wouldn't have been long before it was on its side,I would only buy a single axle lgp tanker if in a ring fence and no road work,only other way I'd have one is with a pram axle fitted.
Recovered a 2000g redrock one day,tanker barrel rolled across the road :eek3:if anyone coming the other way they would have been dead,the same tanker was rolled 3 times over its life on the same section of road.
How much is she...............:wub:You wouldn't be wanting a tandem without a steering axle. If moneys no object though something like this perhaps?
Waiting for the dealer to get back to me with a price for her, but had one for a tanker. Think I'll wait for the price for herHow much is she...............:wub:

Theres way too much tyre depth,if they blow out there over,pair of 3000s with pram axles nearby pulled by fastracs and they have stayed upright without any problems.
There isn't a single axle LPG tanker sold that is rated for higher than 30kph towing that I know of,they have a place just not hoofing around at speed.
Fair number of tractors used on slurry aren't legal above 30kph eitherTheres way too much tyre depth,if they blow out there over,pair of 3000s with pram axles nearby pulled by fastracs and they have stayed upright without any problems.

Rolled a 2050 major twice on some hilly ground damm dangerous took out the 3phase line to the coop the last time . That's the reason we went tandem
Didnt major do a tank like that at one stage . Is that your own outfit . I take it the second axle is from your own workshop
